Hi automated...I was wondering the same thing about your breakfasts. But if it's working for you and it's not part of the 'diethead' then great!! Plus it means you will effectively be getting all the benefits of intermittent fasting. Unfortunately I have tried just having lattes for breakfast in the...

Hey Clarebear...me too, looking forward to our experiment this weekend... It's weird, I totally understand buying the big bars of choc/ice-crea,/crisps and polishing off the lot but how come I've had junk in my fridge and not been tempted to eat it on N days...? This makes me think that it's more to...

I've been really bleurgh this week too and very tired. Some weeks are just like that I guess. This pissy weather does NOT help. Also, maybe for you NoS is just becoming so much a part of what you do so that initial zing from sticking to it may have started to go leaving you with just life stuff? I k...

Hey Linda! I know exactly what you mean...I keep noticing how 'sensible' I'm being in other areas. I guess it's never too late to grow up ;-) I love your idea of not worrying too much about exercise until you have completed 100 days. I keep saying that to myself about other things (caffeine in parti...

Me too with the big bags of crisps....doesn't even occur to me to buy the small bags! Yeah, one plateful on S days (unless out at a restaurant or something) is a good idea isn't it? Even if my one plate was full of crap, at least it would have a beginning, middle and end...! I might gently try it ne...

Thanks Clarebear...you're right, I think I will take some time to adjust and for my body to trust that I won't be restricting food any time soon. Thinking about it, I have restricted food (apart from bingeing) my whole life since I was 14. It's not going to change after only 21 days (did you hear th...

Hi Automated! Haha, I laughed at Oolala's comment 'paging Dr Freud'!! Hilarious. It seems like your S days were really sane this weekend! That's so awesome. I'm really struggling today after a very over the top weekend. Feel like CRAP! But I need to trust the path that people like you are blazing fo...

Hey Linda! Just posted on your thread so ignore my question there...you've already answered it here! I guess I am where you were - not believing that my S days will calm down. I do need to trust but today I feel so gross. I had to try on about 5 different work outfits - none of my trousers fit me co...

Ah, I'm sure you're a great mother, Linda! I can tell. That's so nice that their teachers said that too..they're lucky to have you! You mentioned that you didnt' take an 'S' day on Saturday so that you could enjoy your anniversary on Sunday. Do you usually only take one 's' day per weekend then? Jus...

Thanks so much jw! I agree and thinking about it, it WAS a sharing experience because we were sharing the bread basket :wink: The lesson here is that if I decide - and commit to the forum ahead of time - that an event is an 's' then that is that. Just as it's dangerous to suddenly declare something ...

Hey automated.. Totally identify with the social anxiety and I honestly think it's the lack of sleep that's behind it. Truly. I don't think you need to analyse it beyond that. I've begun to notice that if I'm unwell or haven't sleep enough, that's what happens to me. Big time!!! I'm sure you'll slee...
